Public bug reported: [Impact]
* LibreOffice 7.1.7 is in its seventh (and last) bugfix release of the 7.1 line: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/7.1#7.1.7_release * This source packages matches the proposed SRU for hirsute handled at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1948933 * LibreOffice 6.4.7 (EOL since November 30, 2020) is currently released in focal. * Given the nature of the project, the complexity of the codebase and the high level of quality assurance upstream, it is preferable to SRU a minor release rather than cherry-pick selected bug fixes. [Scope] * Backport of https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/1:7.1.7-0ubuntu0.21.04.1 * Backport target is Focal/20.04 LTS only to provide an official build of a more recent upstream version of LibreOffice [Testing] * Upstream testing. Bugs fixed upstream typically include unit/regression tests, and the release itself is extensively exercised (both in an automated manner and manually). * A recent set of upstream's automated jenkins testing can be found here: https://ci.libreoffice.org/job/gerrit_71/1460/ * More information about the upstream QA testing can be found here: * Automated tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Automated_Tests * Automated UI tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/UITests * Regression tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Regression_Tests * Feature tests https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Testing/Feature_Tests * Launchpad testing. The libreoffice packages include autopkgtests that were run and verified as passing. * [amd64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/amd64/libr/libreoffice/20211110_055401_85a70@/log.gz * [arm64] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/arm64/libr/libreoffice/20211110_013227_b21ba@/log.gz * [armhf] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/armhf/libr/libreoffice/20211110_015816_7e469@/log.gz * [ppc64el] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/ppc64el/libr/libreoffice/20211110_002248_216a6@/log.gz * [s390x] https://autopkgtest.ubuntu.com/results/autopkgtest-focal-libreoffice-libreoffice-still/focal/s390x/libr/libreoffice/20211109_232224_7b3ab@/log.gz * General smoke testing of all the applications in the office suite were carried out by going through the manual testplan as documented by: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Process/Merges/TestPlans/libreoffice [Regression Potential] * A minor release with a total of 27 bug fixes always carries the potential for introducing regressions, even though it is a bugfix-only release, meaning that no new features were added, and no existing features were removed. * A combination of autopkgtests and careful smoke testing as described above should provide reasonable confidence that no regressions sneaked in. ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Medium Assignee: Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz) Status: In Progress ** Also affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Focal) Status: New => In Progress ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Focal) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu Focal) Assignee: (unassigned) => Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1950467 Title: [BPO] libreoffice 7.1.7 for focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1950467/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
